Eastern Money in western Eu,erprise.

Some days ago we referred to some fig
ures about investments in new enterprises,
which were offered by r. q. Dun & Co. as
explaining in part the apparent unwilling
ness Of THE public to raise the price of
stock 10y purchases in Wall street. The
Boston Commercial Bulletin now shows how
great sum Of money has recently been in
vested by Eastern capitalists in Western
enterprises that have originated in that
city The Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe
railroad company has called for nearly $40,
900. 600 to be expended in extending its sys
tenn, and about one-half of this sum has
been paid in. The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy has obtained about s., 800, 900, half
Of which has been furnished in this coun-
try To the Chicago, Burlington and
Northern $l2, 0O0, 600 has been paid in the
last year and half The Wisconsin Cen
trial and the Merriam" group Of roads
have received large sums and 81, OOO, 900
has been put into the Memphis and Birm-
ingham road These enterprises, which are
especially favored in Boston, have called
for so, 900, 600 all Of which has been sub
scribed, and $Ij, 600 Of it has been
actually invested. Boston capitalists have
also supported certain California land com
panies by payments amounting to $500,
900, and the Western mortgage companies
are said TO be doing a good business Bos
ton capital has gone into new national
banks in the Northwest, and one resident
of the city is a director in no less than fifty
seven of these institutions. The money
that is thus placed in the West finds it.

The Ma..nehu.e,.. boundary Line

The survey of the boundary line between
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire is a
matter of keen interest up the river and
Mortified and Warwick people are appre-
hensive of a change which would throw Il
large part of these towns over into the
Granite state The original survey made
in l74l, under the direction of the New
Hampshire assembly, defined a line due
west from a point three miles north of Pau
tucket Falls on the Merrimac 10 the Con
necticut river, but New Hampshire has
claimed since an error in reckoning by
which she was deprived of the territory in
a long triangle with distance Of three
miles ON the Connecticut as its western base.
1t is this claim that is now in question and
it appears that the New Hampshire state
surveyor has fixed the line at a point on
Main street mt Mortified, which would cut
away from Massachusetts, the Moody schools
and all the proposed hotels and summer
residences of that delightful village. ANY
such outcome would he a serious misfor
tune, but there appears to be no immediate
occasion for alarm The New Hampshire
representative does not settle the matter
surveyors from each state will have To pre-
pare a map of the line as claimed by their
respective states before action can he taken
by either Legislature, and there is mu-
tual understanding that the northeast
ern boundary, the crooked line following
the course of the Merrimac, shall be estab
lished before the western extension is taken
into consideration. The progress of the
negotiations will be closely watched in thi,
part Of the state Springfield Republican

If the accounts which come across the
water are true the new rifle adopted by
the French government and known by the
name of its inventor, Lebel, is a wonderful
illustration of modern progress in firearms.
1t is described as smaller and lighter than
the rifles now in use-the French soldiers
call it "the little gun"-and as having a
carrying power beyond that Of any rifle
heretofore in use. According TO accounts
the Lebel gun will carry its bullet more
than mile and half, and with more
certain aim than has been possible with or
binary rifles. The bore of the gun is very
small and the ball, which is of steel and
sharply pointed, revolves at a speed of 1000
revolutions a second. In the tests made
by the French government this bullet has
penetrated brick wall eight inches thick
at distance of 500 yards it will go through
any kind of armor that can he worn by
soldiers, and at a distance of more than a
mile will pass through man as easily as at
ten PAGES. The gun has no recoil under
fire, and the powder used, which is a new
and secret compound, gives out no smoke
whatever, The Lebel gun is, of course, a
repeater, and the cartridges are so small
that each soldier carries 220 rounds of am
munition, as against 10 rounds, formerly
considered the maximum The French
government is now making these guns at
the rate of 800 day, and is preparing Ia
turn out double that number.
